That’s some good work!

That’s some good work!

Thanks! 1,700 miles on the bike; 16:8 intermittent fasting, and almost entirely given up beer. My goal was 200 lbs, but I got there quicker than I expected and the mirror said I had more to lose, so I'm now going for 190.

You must feel like a new person. Nice work.

Thanks! It is amazing how much more energy and fewer aches & pains I have - I'm much more likely to say "yeah, a hike/bike/swim sounds nice!" rather than "no thanks, I think I'll stay at home and catch up on netflix." Who knew "synergy" existed outside of board room pitches?

176.6 today

I fully admit to slipping some; being around food all day makes things difficult. I also haven't been keeping up with my daily workout. Need to buckle down.

175.8 today, still maintaining, which isn't bad. Boredom eating still a thing.

I've posted before about my difficulty getting adequate fiber within my low calorie moderate protein goal, but I've recently rediscovered a tasty food that is full of fiber without adding many calories: blackberries. Bonus: there happens to be a fruit stand selling them about 7 miles from my house so it also makes for a nice pit stop on bike rides.



vs the standard "high fiber" food, prunes:

At the risk of sounding like an ass (because, you know, I probably am one), and directed at no one in particular, if you find yourself posting in the now third annual PF weight loss challenge thread and you aren’t losing weight or achieving/maintaining your goals, it’s time to stop dicking around and get it done. Just do it.

You’re going to be hungry and/or tired and/or stressed and/or overwhelmed. So what, that’s just life and not an excuse to eat too damned much — and almost all of us are probably routinely eating too damned much and have been doing so for too damned long. Doing something wrong for a long time doesn’t make it "normal" or "right” no matter how used to it you are. And make no mistake, the problem isn’t a lack of exercise, it’s too much "food". You aren’t going to out exercise shitty eating habits. In 15-20 minutes you can easily eat more calories than you can burn the rest of the day no matter how much/hard you exercise.

Let the unfucking commence.

I do not check in on PF near as much as I used to. I found myself checking back in this morning to see what this group is thinking of coronavirus and all the recent protests. Don't know why this thread caught my eye, but looked in and just had to laugh at Tom's post. Doctors should adopt this method of advice. My father was a doctor, and he used to say "you can't out exercise your fork."

More power to all you folks that are doing well. I probably gained weight, thanks COVID-19...
